R.Parker - 93 pts. There's great harmony and purity here. The palate is fresh, the flavors are clean and pure and there is great length. There's great energy. It has to be one of the finest vintages of Barda. This is an incredible value, a great Pinot Noir from Río Negro at a very attractive price point.

95 points - Decanter. Gently perfumed cherries, blackberries, dark chocolate, dried herbs and spice. Excellent concentration and attractive savoury complexity. Worldclass, simply delicious. David Williams: Generous and juicy, bright cherry and blackcurrant; some claret-like cedar and a ruffle of ripe tannins. Super-stylish.

The Catena Malbec Appellation Vista Flores shows a dark violet color with black reflections. The nose offers ripe, concentrated dark and red fruit aromas with delicate floral notes of lavender and violet, and mocha. The mouthfeel is rich and full with notes of sweet spice and a touch of leather. The finish presents soft, well-integrated tannins with bright, crisp acidity that gives the wine...

Winemaker Notes Deep red color with violet hints. Dark fruits and exotic spices with tobacco and mocha hints. Elegant, well balanced, harmonious, long persistence with chocolate flavors.

James Suckling 91 Points - So much brightness here with sliced lime and some lemon zest. Plenty of minerally character, too. Medium and vivid. Crisp.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of blackberry, red currant, black plum and kirsch with hints of sage brush and violet blossom. On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied malbec has medium-intensity, red-and-black-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and ripe, medium tannin. Definitely worth trying and pairing with...

"Berry and plum aromas come with a roasted side note. A crisp ringing finish is a bit shearing and acidic, while this tastes of spicy, peppery plum and berry fruits. A tight finish with chalky grip helps this end on a positive note. - Michael Schachner" - Wine Enthusiast (July 1st 2018), 87 pts

91 points - Tim Atkin “Tannat is still quite hard to sell,” admits Lucia Romero, “but we’re getting there.” Let’s hope so, because this a serious, compact, savoury expression of the grape with liquorice and tobacco leaf notes, dense black cherry and damson fruit and sinewy tannins

93 points - James Suckling Intense aromas of blackberry and blackberry. Some slate, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, silky tannins that are polished and refined. Attractive tannin through the center palate. Drink or hold.

Blackberries, cherries and spices dominate the nose and the palate has great depth. Fresh, tense and electric, this is a fine expression of the chalky soils of Gualtallary, a fresher approach to the grape. Graceful, pure and super bright.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon with four months in American and French oak. Deep ruby colour with purple hints. A classic cabernet sauvignon with aromas of black fruits, spices and a hint of vanilla scented oak. A range of layered flavours including chocolate and spice, leading into a long finish. The grapes come from the 98 acres vineyard, located in the Uco Valley, which is over 3.600 feet above sea...

James Suckling 96 Points "A beautifully plush and fresh pinot that has much in the way of dark cherries and plums that ride on a silky, elegantly defined bed of fine tannins. This has superior elegance, depth and drive. Drink or hold."

Winemaker Notes The nose reveals dried plum and dark fruits; exotic spices with hints of violet and chocolate. Round and fleshy with enticing crushed plum and boysenberry fruit, enlivened by a liquorice snap note. Fresh acidity lies buried on the medium-weight, juicy finish.

This is a fantastic Red blend with a deep ruby color, aromas of cherry and red raspberries with a hint of vanilla, rich and ripe flavors on the palate with a nice layered complexity that reminds of a nice Bordeaux style Red with a long smooth tannin finish. Drink now to 2024.

92 points - James Suckling Tight and lively red with aromas and flavors of blackberries, licorice, stone and dust. Medium to full body. Creamy texture from the fine tannins.

Very nice pear and gentle apricot fruit on the nose with nuances of early summer blossom, but it is quite clean and crisp, without too much buttery character. On the palate this is essence of Viognier, with a full, sweet-edged palate of very ripe pear fruit running through to a juicy nectarine and peachy character, with a crisp, clear mid-palate and enough acidity to keep it fresh. Crowd-pleasing...

Tasting notes Pale yellow green color. Aromatical: notes of elderflower, lychee and a fresh crisp finish with lingering flavors of yellow fruit and tones of Muscat. 100% Sauvignon Blanc

92 pts. James Suckling This shows beautiful aromas of dried lemons and spice with nutmeg and limes. Grapefruit, as well. Full-bodied yet fresh and lively with a lovely white-grapefruit aftertaste. Lemony, too.
